1.4. About DX Storage Object Types

DX Storage supports the following general types of objects:
• Immutable unnamed objects, which can be deleted but not changed.
If you delete an unnamed object, its UUID is not reused.
• Mutable unnamed objects (that is, anchor streams), which have contents that can be replaced but
UUIDs that never change.
Like immutable unnamed objects, an anchor stream's UUID is not reused after the object is
deleted.
• Named objects, which are mutable and which are addressed by name only and not by UUID.
If you delete a named object, another object with the same name can be created later.
The same Simple Content Storage Protocol (SCSP) methods apply to all the types of objects in the
preceding list. For more information about SCSP, see
Storage Protocol

• A bucket or object name must be a valid UTF-8 byte sequence.
• To include special characters in bucket or object names, use
